Where do they find these people? Obama's Director of 'National Intelligence' thinks the Muslim Brotherhood will save us from al-Qaeda

Where does Barack Hussein Obama find morons like James Clapper to serve in his administration? This is what Clapper, Obama's Director of 'National Intelligence,' told the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence on Tuesday (Hat Tip: Will via Doc's Talk).

If, over the longer term, governments take real steps to address public demands for political participation and democratic institutions—and remain committed to CT efforts—we judge that core al-Qaeda and the global jihadist movement will experience a strategic setback. Al Qaeda probably will find it difficult to compete for local support with groups like the Muslim Brotherhood that participate in the political process, provide social services, and advocate religious values. Nonviolent, pro-democracy demonstrations challenge al Qaeda’s violent jihadist ideology and might yield increased political power for secular or moderate Islamist parties.

You got it? The Muslim Brotherhood are the 'good terrorists' and if they participate in the 'political process' then they will be more popular than al-Qaeda, who are the 'bad terrorists' (and indeed the only enemy in the bizzaro world of the Obama White House.

Well, people are entitled to their opinion and James Clapper has his own. We, thank God, live in a democracy.Of course, his description of the Muslim Brotherhood (participation in the political process, provision of social services and advocating religious values) is that of Hamas as well, and yet the US (as well as others) consider it a terrorist group.

Yes, James Clapper offered his "intelligence" on the matter and it is up to his colleagues and the people to refute him.

PM Netanyahu has also some dubious people in his government and I haven't read you calling them the epithet you selected for the gentleman in question...
